    Dens and the morgue like atmosphere nowadays

    lets throw this one open.
    is there an appetite from the fans to improve the atmosphere?
    how would the fans achieve it?
    and very importantly do you think the club will now listen?


    from personal experience iv had barriers put up in front of me even when i was trying to get the derry sold out for the st mirren game last year,thats is just wrong on so many levels ranging from,customer service to common business rules.

    i agree with several others on here that we may have passed the crossroads to do anything about it,such is the apathy that is oozing from dens at the moment.

    the minute people start not giving a fcukk about the state of the stairs/hoses/trees growing oot o places they shouldnt be or even the white spot on the red wall that eventually got coloured in within the tv interview area,then its slippery slope time.

    some people are obviously ultra confident that they are in a job for life,well they aint and they should start doing their job or get another one,quite simple.

    Dens is an absolute disgrace at the moment and the paying public us are putting up with it,or are we?after the crowd on saturday.

    its high time some people got their fingers oot their arses and took a bit of pride at their work.

    Starts at The TOP.

    If the man at the top don't care, neither does the stadium manager and other staff, don't answer e mails, become closed to new ideas, don't fight for what's important to the club.

    This seeps down to management ( ach it's just another pumping), players (**** putting my head in there), ****ing ball boys stewards everything.

    Said on another thread it's just a job to some of these paps who have not become rich working for dundee but the soul of the club has been rotting away on their watch.

    A desert of passion, pride, hunger and desire.

    but surely its in some of their remits/job spec to report back to their boss so its either
    they aint doing so
    or
    the boss aint listening

    the pitch is usually in tip top condition and i believe the groundsman aint slow in keeping his standards high if someone walks on the surface when they shoiuldnt,your right thats called pride

    Did anyone see Aberdeen’s “Red Shed” on Saturday, they gave the Paddock up to young boisterous fans, cheap entry and encouraged to stand and sing, it’ll be about 5 years before we catch on to this, yet it’s a simple fix for the Derry, I’d give over the Derry to under 25’s, or at least let people know what to expect, ie people standing and trying to create an atmosphere, it won’t happen over night, but get around the schools with the tickets now

    Why don’t you fehk off no one likes a troll, that’s why these boards are dying, because of clowns like you.

    No on accused of Arabs of handing out free tickets, United told the world they were doing it, no do one

    I heard from a very reliable source that United handed out 1,400 free tickets for a home game at Tannadice all of which were included in the attendance total announced despite only 400 tickets being used.
    Yet another inflated attendance figure.

    thats all fine and well islay,but if our board dont start to engage with the fans and i mean the rank and file fans not the ones who are eggshell walkers then this club of ours is finished,
    people should be asking themselves,how and why have the attendances/atmosphere etc vanished

    I agree with everything that you say but the problem is that the Baird of directors have no regular meetings.
    The Dundee Football Club Limited annual accounts for the year ending 31st May 2019 are due to published in the next month or so.
    If they are bad then no doubt John Nelms will be asking the Dundee supporters to renew their season ticket no matter what league we are playing in next season.
    John Nelms should be holding out an olive branch to Dundee supporters and season ticket holders, announcing that season ticket prices, Match day tickets and PATG prices will be reduced if we fail to gain promotion at the end of this season to Championship prices level.

    Nothing will happen until we start winning at home...you can dress it up any way you like but until the team starts winning especially in this league people aren't coming back
